Most screens require a small amount of assembly, just putting in a few screws. If you buy a free standing screen, then it's as simple as placing it in front of the open fireplace.
Fireplace screens are typically made of glass or metal so that they can withstand heat. As well as absorbing the heat and deflecting it, some screens can become hot themselves so it is wise to be cautious about touching them.
Screens are often placed in front of a fireplace to catch hot embers. Similarly, metal fenders are sometimes used around the bottom of a fireplace to catch sparks.
Fireplace screens have been in use as long as fireplaces have been. One of the original uses was to protect women's make up from being melted off as make up used to be made mostly from wax. These screens usually were on a pedestal closer to the height of a seated woman. The screens we see today began to be used in the early 1700's, so for about 300 years.

A wood burning fireplace can be a nice addition to any room, but there are some practical considerations that need to be taken into account. An open fireplace can allow smoke and sparks to fly into the room, which can greatly reduce your enjoyment of the fire. Sparks can create unsightly burns on the floor in front of the fireplace, as well. A good way to avoid these problems is through the installation of fireplace doors. Mesh and Iron Doors Some fireplace doors allow the air to move through while they protect the room from flying sparks. Mesh and iron doors can be installed flush with the edge of the fireplace enclosure. There are types of mesh doors that run along a track and can be pulled back like curtains. Iron doors tend to be hinged so that they swing out when they are open. The doors can be highly decorative, or simple and plain. Glass Doors To create a more tightly sealed enclosure, you can install glass fireplace doors. The doors will conduct the heat from the fire so that it still warms the room, but they stop any smoke or sparks from escaping the enclosure. Glass doors also allow you an unobstructed view of the fire, so you get to enjoy the warmth and the cheery sight of burning logs without any danger of sparks ruining your floor. There are many different types of glass door arrangements that can be fitted to fireplaces of any size or shape. Portable Screens A less permanent option for covering the fireplace enclosure is a fireplace screen instead of fireplace doors. Screens are decorative as well as practical, and they completely cover the fireplace when it is not in use. Fireplace screens can be drawn back when the fire is in use, or they can be left in place to protect the room. Many people find that screens are more obstructive than fireplace doors, however, and the screens tend to be used more during the season when the fireplace is not in use. Screens don’t install directly into the fireplace enclosure, so they can be stored away when not in use, or folded and kept near the fireplace.
